As in Time magazine's "Man of the Year." By Time's peculiar definition, someone who embezzled the company's funds would have been voted Man of the Year and given an award banquet.In a strict technical sense he is not incorrect, but it is still a failure to communicate when a particular phrase that is commonly known to mean one thing is used to mean something else... as in this case.
